In early 2007, Fowler was diagnosed with lung cancer and won the admiration of many for persevering with a busy schedule of 14-hour work days in spite of debilitating treatments. Fowler even posted a set of “before and after” photographs of himself with and without hair.Fowler sold real estate in the Columbia area for nearly two decades and in 1998 coined the slogan “the Results Team” to describe his newly formed company and its employees.
For the past 17 years, he was a regular on WVOC radio, offering real estate and related advice weekdays. He also was host of a talk show on Saturday mornings that focused on the subject.
“He’s been so much more than a radio host,” said L.J. Smith, programming and operations director for Clear Channel radio in Columbia. “He’s been mentor, adviser, friend, advocate and leader — not only his radio audience, but to those who’ve worked in this building with him.”
“His optimism was unrivaled,” Smith said. “While battling through his sickness, he was continually planning and looking toward the future of his life, both personally and professionally. He had plans for another radio show in the works, laying plans right up to just a week or two ago.”
